Migration of the Coxill family
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Coxill were among those contributors: John Coggswell of Ipswich England who sailed in the 'Angel Gabriel' from Bristol, England which was wrecked at Penaquid in 1635; Robert Coxwell, who arrived in America in 1644.
